It seems like every year I am shooting less that the previous year. Maybe I’m skating more, maybe I’m just lazy. Either way, life has gotten in the way of keeping this site updated regularly. Hoping to change that in 2014 and get back to shooting and posting more. Until then, here is some of what went down – the 2013 Photographic Year in Review.

As I’m going thru all these photos from 2012, I’m really wishing I would have done a better job of keeping them organized… oh well. Here’s a recap of some of the things that went down this year. Don’t think I shot as much as previous years, but hopefully that will change for 2013. Thank you to everyone that has wasted their life looking at the site and also, thanks to Lightner, KB, Sam, Russ, Brant, Hippie Steve, Cam, Ozzie and everyone else that has pitched in, no matter how big or small.

2011 is over and I’m sure most of you are over 2011. It’s been a rough year for most, but one thing for sure is that skateboarding made it a lot better. Skated a ton of amazing pools, took road trips to Arizona and Fresno and got to skate and photograph a bunch of awesome people. Here is some of what went down.

Thank you to everyone that takes time out of their day to visit the site. Here’s to a better 2012!

As the year comes to a close, I like to look back at some of the photos I shot over the past 12 months. I do it mostly for myself but also in hopes that this will hype some people up to go skate, shoot photos or just get outside and live. I have skated more backyard pools this year than most people will get to skate in their lifetime…Ozzie Ausband and the Badlands crew are 100% responsible for that. Getting to skate and shoot with some of the greatest dudes around is truly an honor. Each year my board and camera take me to amazing places and introduces me to people that I know I can call friends for life. Here is just a small sample of the things that went down this year.

Huge thanks to everyone for the photo opps, taking me to your spots, letting me in your backyard and for just inspiring me to skate. See you next year.

Over the past year I have met some cool people, skated with those same people at some amazing spots, and was able to attend and photograph some sick events. I was looking at some pics that were shot over the last 12 months and thought I’d post some of them up. So, here’s my (photographic) year in review…
